Chelsea exited the continental championship in the quarter-finals following losing to Real Madrid
The Champions League anthem was not played in the Chelsea and Real Madrid match hosted by Stamford Bridge in London, yesterday, Tuesday, in the second leg of the quarter-finals.
The Spanish newspaper “Sport” said that the reason for not playing the anthem is that the person responsible for playing the recording of the championship anthem at Stamford Bridge stadium, the home of Chelsea, forgot regarding it before the start of the match, and as a result, the players of the two teams appeared in front of the camera broadcasting the confrontation while they were at a loss. They don’t know what’s going on.
BT Sport correspondent Des Kelly explained following the final whistle that the anthem button had malfunctioned and with time running out before kick-off the staff had no choice but to cancel their plans.
